Well done on getting DD some trainers from ebay.

I use http://www.mandmdirect.com/ for cheap trainers and anything else that my label obsessed kids want!!

Its a fab site - at Xmas I managed to get some brown gladiator style sandles for £1 - ok, it was winter but I have used them loads this summer.

They do a lot of clearance items as well so you can get trainers really cheap.

Good to see you have put somethings on Eb@y, another steep forward :T. Its quite addictive so you'll be putting lots on by the end of the week I'm sure.

Thanks badbookkeeper. The app is much better than I remember, it does a lot for you now, which is super helpful. Will aim to do 20 a week on a Sunday.

Trying to decide what to do today. Going to be hard as if we go to the city I'll spend money! But can't stay in all day....

Ok money is not going to plan, only have £125 left in bank account. Am £30 short of paying T£Sco CC. Min payment came out for other CC, which wasn't planned. Was hoping new CC would kick in before it came out. And small ones trainers cAme out of that account too. Need to find £30 by end of month! God I hope I can eek out my petrol so I don't need to add that in to the mix too. Let's hope I get £30 from eBay sales!!! Fingers crossed.

I'm thankful I guess that I actually know what's going on money wise instead of spending as per normal, absolutely oblivious!

Ok just going to think out loud as putting it on here means it's in one place and I have a list.

Unplanned costs coming up

*OH has informed me it's his dad's birthday at the end of the month, need to get a card. Will raid copper jar and go to card factory when in city tomorrow. Will also get some peeps to make one. Actually could actually get the small ones to just make a card and spend the money I would have spent on the card on glitter from the £1 shop! Good thinking Cost 0 (well ish, as copper jar doesn't really count):o

*BBQ at my sisters next weekend. Usually take food! But have burger buns and burgers in the freezer oh and sausages. So cost there 0. :money:

*Step sister has had a beautiful baby, so will tie in seeing them with seeing sister next weekend so no extra petrol cost. Will get small ones to make a card and I have a baby book and toy sealed in a box upstairs that was an unwanted gift. And I have 2 jigsaw books that we bought for unexpected presents so their 3 yr old can have those so as not to feel left out! Cost 0 :T

This would usually have all cost me at least £30 in total! But I can do it all hopefully all for zero!

Oh have also just registered my costalot coffee card, that I've had for ages, and actually have £6.30 on there!!!!! That's 2 free trips to the cafe for me and the small ones! As won't be going there otherwise. :money:

And in other news, i forgot about the 5 £1 coins I had in my purse, that I was going to put towards parking but came out of my account. Have also found the £1 in the copper jar I needed and cobbled together £2 made up of 20ps and 10ps:o
Have also found scratch cards with £2 and a £1 win, hoping they can still be redeemed so that's £11! Although £1 of that is going on glitter. So I have £10. Umming and ahhing whether to take back the pjs and the shirt I bought from primark to bring me even more money back....

Think I'm going to go and see my nan today, she always gives a lovely lunch and they have a lovely park near by I can take the small ones to.
